The same holds true for Social Media. Both sides of this topic have valid points. While I completely see the value in Social Networking and the exponential ability it has to reach a multitude of people with real time information I can equally see how it can easily monopolize one's day causing a domino effect of non productive time. With the recent state of our economy in this Country businesses are forced to operate with streamlined workforces and still complete the same workload in order to maintain operations. We simply need more productivity from fewer people. Even the smallest distractions deter from the much needed increased productivity of your staff. Smaller companies are more likely to feel the effects of social distractions as opposed to a larger company that has the ability to divide the workload among more people. I suppose that Social Media/Networking needs it's own place on your daily task list and prioritized just like anything else. There is a time and a place for everything, my mother used to say.
